Now Is The Time To Design Part 2! Episode #163

As I have mentioned many times, the off-season is the perfect time to reflect on plants, plant combinations, and design. These sessions are meant to familiarize you with plant growth rates and growth habits and how those characteristics impact how plants are combined in the garden. Any graph paper will do but I like slightly larger (.5") grids for these simple and small designs. Get some paper, a pencil (and an eraser!) and follow along with me! CORRECTION: In the last design in this episode, I confused genus's...I used Levisticum scoticum when I meant to say/use Ligusticum scoticum. That's created some confusion for which I apologize. It was a long day of filming and I think my internal genus mechanism malfunctioned! You can learn more about the plant here: https://www.gardenersworld.com/plants... Like, subscribe, and share!
